Playing AVI encoded with H264

The crazy french!
It says it was encoded with H264 right below the picture and after the word "attention."

Do you have any other ideas Dick?

David,

My info needs updating...
I have OS 10.3.9 on my iBook and QT 7.1.3 (but not pro) and can't open it.

Thanks BJ,
Where can I find MPlayer?

Al

Thanks BJ,
I found MPlayer but looks like a tricky install.
I can't tell if I am downloading some specific codecs for the player or the player itself.
Seems like it is more of a windows player.
I will continue to research but if you have any advice I'd appreciate it.

I had trouble understanding XINE's site but downloaded a .bz2 file and unstuffed it - but contents looked meaningless. Didn't see a player.
Nice is for 10.4 and I am on 10.3
VLC came very close - displaying the first image of the video and sound. It begins to play but stops immediately and gives a drop frame error message with "your computer might be too slow message."

I have tried Chrome, Easy Video, DIVX player and these 3. No game. Uncle.

For uninstalling all of these is it is as simple as dragging the program to the trash or do I have to hunt some files.
I installed them on my desktop only so as to not put them in my apps folder.
THanks Rick.

Forum won't show helpful button only solved for some reason tonight.

I will try looking for Nice again.
Perhaps Version tracker is not the best place.

I emailed the alleged author of the videos and he didn't seem to know much - apparently someone did the encoding for him.

Probably something I need to fiddle with.
thanks Rick,
